Originated with a 'low-level employee' in one city,

and somehow escaped scrutiny... yeah, I'll buy that.

With someone else's money.

Anybody still believe the 'honest, no-agenda, even-handed tax agency' line?

Yep: that vile bastard Lautenberg and his little buddy Schumer want to make you get a license to buy powder, smokeless or black.  ANY amount.  Because terrorists took fireworks apart to make bombs, so gun owners need to be screwed.
Found at Sipsey:

The new Powder Alarm:

In short, it looks like this bill is specifically designed to restrict the ability of those who load their own ammunition or use black powder firearms from buying the components that fuel their activities.

Lady discovers that actually eating, and working out, and being healthy and strong is a lot better than being a opium-addict lookalike.

Now if she can get this message through to the fashion industry and entertainment clowns who’ve been the ones pushing this ‘looking like a concentration camp survivor is sexy’ crap…


Damn.  And here I thought Marines were the strong, illiterate type...
Message 1: from General James Mattis, on the matter of professional reading, 20 November

….The problem with being too busy to read is that you learn by experience (or by your men’s

experience), i.e. the hard way. By reading, you learn through others’ experiences, generally a better way to do business, especially in our line of work where the consequences of incompetence are so final for young men.

Thanks to my reading, I have never been caught flat-footed by any situation, never at a loss for how any problem has been addressed (successfully or unsuccessfully) before. It doesn’t give me all the answers, but it lights what is often a dark path ahead.
And it goes on from there.


Want to know how screwed Chicago is?
A: The effing museum in Chicago isn't allowed to display guns from the collection, and
Clarke said the current city code is unclear if historic guns can even be stored in the museum's archives, so the library has moved its collection to a fire-proof safe at a gun range in the Chicago suburbs.
B: This alderman who is 'a history expert' said of a Walther PP
"I don’t know if someone's going to find ammo for a German handgun from World War II all that readily," Clarke said, referring to the Levine's pistol Burke highlighted Wednesday.
Yeah, it's just effing impossible to find ammo for one of those...


Another response to the clowns who insist "Nobody wants to take your guns!":
A microphone left on after the gavel fell at a New Jersey Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee hearing Thursday shows the “true view” of some of the senators toward gun owners, and provides proof that gun confiscation is a goal on which they agree, the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs revealed in an email to members and supporters today. The group is the official NRA state association.
...
Among the lines heard in the recording:

"We needed a bill that was going to confiscate, confiscate, confiscate.”
"They don’t care about the bad guys. All they want to do is have their little guns and do whatever they want with them.”

No, they don't want to confiscate, nooooo.
